The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
A-1 and B-1 tie the ball up resulting in a held ball. Team A is awarded the ball for an alternating possession throw-in. During the alternating possession throw-in, Team B’s head coach is assessed a technical foul for grousing about the held ball ruling.
Handle the situation.
Team A will be awarded two free throws and possession of the ball for a throw-in at the division line opposite the table. Since the alternating possession throw-in was not completed, the arrow is not switched. The next alternating possession throw-in will go to Team A.
